Background:
Nurse talent management is critical for workforce stability amid shortages and burnout. Scientifically assessing nurses' perceptions of talent management strategies is significant for optimizing human resource management and enhancing retention.
Objective:
This study translated the Nurse Perceived Talent Management Scale (NPTMS) into Chinese and evaluated the psychometric properties of the Chinese version (NPTMS-C) among clinical nurses from tertiary hospitals in Liaoning Province, China.
Methods:
A convenience sample of clinical nurses was recruited from 12 tertiary hospitals. The 26-item NPTMS-C was evaluated through item analysis (normality testing, critical ratio, CITC), structural validity (EFA with promax rotation and CFA), convergent validity (AVE and CR), criterion-related validity (POSS as criterion), reliability (Cronbach's α, McDonald's ω, split-half, test-retest ICC), and measurement invariance (MG-CFA across gender).
Results:
Item analysis retained all 26 items (critical ratio: 27.487-63.484, P < 0.001; CITC: 0.512-0.792). EFA yielded KMO = 0.989, Bartlett's χ² = 15009.908 (P < 0.001), factor loadings = 0.610-0.893, explaining 55.480% of variance. CFA showed good fit: χ²/df = 1.300, RMSEA = 0.020, CFI = 0.993, TLI = 0.992, GFI = 0.966, NFI = 0.967, IFI = 0.970. Convergent validity: AVE = 0.500, CR = 0.954. Criterion correlation (NPTMS-C vs. POSS) = 0.631 (P < 0.001). Reliability: Cronbach's α = 0.956, ω = 0.955, split-half = 0.902, test-retest ICC = 0.887. MG-CFA supported configural, metric, scalar, and strict invariance across gender, though caution is warranted due to sample gender imbalance.
Conclusion:
The NPTMS-C demonstrates sound item quality, stable factor structure, and good reliability and validity among tertiary hospital nurses in Liaoning. It is a culturally adapted, scientifically rigorous tool suitable for nursing human resource management research and practice in similar Chinese clinical settings. Future studies with probability-based sampling across diverse regions and hospital levels are needed to confirm broader generalizability.
